A 1.0? I give it a .3, it’s got 6 words, and one of them is debatable! ---

Okay, let me see if I got this right. You have a headache from fucking, and you’re complaining? Sheesh, there’s just no pleasing some people… 🙂 ---

I dunno, it was short and clear, and I’ve always been a fan of brevity and clarity. And I have a headache, too. I think it’s a chinook headache. Blecch. ---

Look, I just have a fucking headache. Trying to construct a properly venomous rant would just exasperate the torture. Screw the style points, my head hurts! Wait…I have a monkey felching, plunger raping, pig fucking headache! Better? ---

As someone who experiences migranes, I think this deserves at least a 4. The feeling of futility against that which the OP is ranting is palpable. It does capture the feeling and attitude of a headache. ---

Because, strangely enough, the obsolete meaning of “exasperate” is “to make more grievous”, but people rarely if ever use that meaning (hence its obsolescence). Just curious. ---

Hopefully it’ll go away soon (unless you have something slowly eating your brain, then I’d imagine it’ll only get worse…) ---

I really hate that you have a headache. Last week I had this headache that just would not fucking leave!! I trully feel your pain. Take some type of antihistamine. Its probably a sinus thing. ---

Because, strangely enough, the obsolete meaning of “exasperate” is “to make more grievous”, but people rarely if ever use that meaning (hence its obsolescence). Just curious. \*\* Well al ittle from column A and a little from column B. I meant “exacerbate” but didn’t trust my spelling of it. So I opened up my copy of _Rodale’s Synonym Finder_ and ended up at “exasperate” which has as synonyms “anger”, “incense”, “aggravate”, “worsen” etc. so I just used that. ---

I give **Tretiak** ’s rant a 7. “Brevity is the soul of wit,” said Polonius. Besides, who can type an essay when his/her head is pounding? I hope you feel better soon, **Tretiak**. Here–maybe if you eat some ice cream really fast…no, that wouldn’t work. What if you squeezed your head into a really small helmet…no, no good either. Uh, did a headstand? Well, damn! How does one get rid of headaches, then? ---
